Haliday Island Wildlife Sanctuary
The Haliday Island Wildlife Sanctuary (also just known as the Haliday Wildlife Sanctuary) is one of several wildlife sanctuaries in the nation of India. Located in the state of West Bengal, the area is approximately six square kilometers in size. It is a part of the 'Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve', with the Sundarbans region as a whole becoming a 'Biosphere Reserve' officially in 1989. The wildlife-heavy areas there are regarded as an environmentally-minded tourist destination. Situated on the river Matla, many different types of flora and fauna exist within the wildlife sanctuary.
Baraha Mihirer Dhipi
A mound associated with Varahamihira and Khana. Varahamihira was a famous astronomer and mathematician, and a jewel among Vikramaditya's Navaratna Sabha. It is widely believed that Khana was Varahamihira's daughter-in-law and an accomplished astrologer. However, at some point, either her husband, her father-in-law, a hired hand or possibly Khana herself, cut off her tongue to silence her prodigious talent.
